Intuitive and holistic body- work are blended with extensive and varied education, costs may rise By Jolene Guzman The Itemizer-Observer DALLAS — Rates for sewer and water utilities in Dallas are likely to increase early next year. The Dallas City Council approved drafting a resolu- tion accepting the city’s Util- ity Rate Advisory Committee recommendation increase rates for water and sewer charges. The adjustment would start Feb. 1, 2017, following a customer “education cam- paign” to explain why the rate hikes are necessary. The committee recom- mended increasing water rates by 4.31 percent and sewer by 2.75 percent each year until 2019, when they would be reviewed again. The rates were last adjust- ed following a 2012 study that recommended the city adopt the Portland-area Consumer Price Index as a method of figuring an annu- al increase to rates to keep up with costs. Fred Braun, the engineer- ing and environmental serv- ices director for the city, said the CPI didn’t keep pace with expenses. Government “The difference the 2012 study and where we are today, basically operation and construction costs don’t track well with the Portland- Salem CPI,” Braun said. The new rate structure is needed to pay for opera- tional costs and needed up- grades and projects. Councilor Jackie Lawson suggested holding informa- tional meetings where city of- ficials could explain the rea- sons the increases are need- ed. She said part of those dis- cussions should be that the city will be using reserves and systems development charges as much as possible to keep the rates lower. “Those are important, key pieces that people need to understand that we are not just creating slush funds,” she said.
